Coordinated arson and bomb attacks across southern Thailand wound three people.

Dozens of coordinated arson, incendiary, and bomb attacks struck Thailand's southern border provinces on August 22, 2026, wounding at least three civilians and damaging government offices, vehicles, and infrastructure. No group claimed responsibility. The attacks occurred amid stalled peace talks between the Thai government and the BRN separatist group.
